Give the Gift of Knowledge Campaign
Hello Authors and Book Reviewers!
Authors, if you would like to share your advance reader’s copies or galleys with book reviewers, please shoot Ella D. Curry an email at: edc_dg@yahoo.com so she can send you the mailing address for book donations. Your books will be used as gifts in BAN Radio Show giveaways, added to any gift bags at live events and will be promoted on social media for 14 days.
We are now actively seeking Booktubers, Instagrammers, book reviewers, bloggers, bookclubs and avid readers to become part of the EDC Creations book review team! I would love to add you on the roster as a reviewer or blog tour host. We do not pay our reviewers or hosts cash, but we will keep your reading supply up with new releases and will give Amazon Gift Certificates for the most productive hosts.
I don’t require any contracts and you can start and stop at your leisure. However, if we don’t get written reviews back within a reasonable time, we will ask why. If we mail out packages of books and you never post book reviews or share our social media posts…the shipments will stop and you will be removed from the list.
This is about unity, expanding our reading selections and just having fun! The only thing we want from you is to tell social media friends and your personal network about the great books and to provide Amazon and Goodreads with a written review. You do not have to be a professional writer, just become a reader who wants to express their appreciation for books!

Procedures
We will send you books to review monthly. All that we ask is for you to submit the written reviews and answer our 5 questions in relation to the book. After approval of your written review, we ask that you post the reviews to our blog and/or Amazon. Once we mail you the books, we would like a review back within 15 days. If you will email me your home address, we will start sending you books and galleys. You will receive an entire review packet once you agree to come on board as an official EDC Creations Reviewer or Blog Tour Host.
Sharing the Reviews
As a EDC Creations partner, we would love to have you come on the BAN Radio Show and the conference calls to tell us about your book and any good books that you have read. Our goal is to always introduce our readers to the next great read.
Authors, you are welcome to become reviewers too! Tell your network about the books, as well as direct others to where they can buy the book. EDC Creations has a bookstore and most books will be carried for the readers. The Black Pearls Reading Room will also host most of the books from the online tours.
Digital Book Reviewers
Book-clubs and readers groups, if your book-club members would agree, we would like to add them on as our ebook reviewers and audio book-club. They would read the books on the Nook, Kindle or over the PC as an ebook, then prepare their honest comments about the book.
We ask that the digital reviewers answer 5 questions about the book on our Black Pearls blog. We will host weekly live readings from books, the digital reviewers would listen to the call, then blog about it the next day on the Black Pearls Blogs. Free books will be given away quarterly to the digital reviewers based on their contributions. You will need a valid email address to join. We need the following information:
1. Full name, photo, email address, home mailing address and a cell-phone number.
2. Favorite genre to read; least favorite genre; will you read ebooks and mass markets?
3. Do you have a Amazon and Goodreads accounts? Are you willing to provide written reviews?
4. Will you host authors on your blog, website, radio show or social network?
You can send your answers to the following email address: edc_dg@yahoo.com. Feel free to share this post with as many avid readers as you can.
We need people to host our blog tours, review our books and to join in the Give the Gift of Knowledge Campaign!
